@bjb568 Do you want Zephyr to watch this room? Right now, it is posting messages from around the network to this room

@Andy It could. But it would be more useful if it found unclosed questions and poked the tavern randomly.

So… studied history for 3 hours. Sitting on a 69 (:), test tomorrow worth 40% of grade.

Andrew T.

converted to comment. Thanks all.

bjb568

I think it should be more like… 2005.

hichris123

@bjb568 what? That's weird.

@bjb568 ^ Our periodization.

Andy

@bjb568 Are you asking that Zephyr look at previous close requests and repost the request if they aren't closed at each check?

might be a question, not on ELL certainly...

AstroCB

@bjb568 It depends on your time scale; when do you start?

bjb568

@AstroCB What time scale?

AstroCB

@bjb568 1750 could be considered modern if you start 2 million years ago.

@Braiam Unclear what you're asking.

Andy

For those of us that haven't had a history class since the pyramids were finished, what happened in 1750 to make it a cut off year for history classes?

Braiam

@Andy Industrial Revolution

I think

AstroCB

1:58 AM

@Braiam That's it.

hichris123

yup

And 600 AD/CE is a cutoff because of Islam.

AstroCB

1450 is fall of the Ottoman Empire (1453).

Sorry; fall of the Roman Empire.

@hichris123 The Western half did.

hichris123

@AstroCB ... I thought the Roman Empire fell by 600 CE...

Braiam

@AstroCB that Roman Empire, huh

hichris123

aha, you meant Byzantine @AstroCB.

AstroCB

2:03 AM

@hichris123 The Eastern half lived on as the Byzantine.

Constantine created Constantinople to preserve the Roman Empire from the raids of the huns in the western half.

Spam? stackoverflow.com/a/26153166/2581872

AstroCB

All of the western half's wealthy residents moved to the eastern half, so the western half just kind of collapsed.

And the western half is what's typically called the "Roman Empire."

So yes, and no.

Andy

@hichris123 Very next review was to an answer on one of my old questions.

hichris123

@Andy ahaha

Is chat bugging out for anyone else?

On this question, I wanted to remove diseases and fungus, and add diagnosis and pests.

hichris123
